Earl Caverly, former manager of the West Center-si H. G. Chaffee store, had no connection whatever with a check for approximately $70 paid in at Hamburger's store in Los Angeles, Roger C.

The embezzlement charge here, which never got beyond Justice G. B. Brown, was based on the fact that Caverly had disobeyed the company's instructions and taken Saturday night's collections home instead of hiding them in the store. He had been doing so for many months, the testimony showed, before the one night on which he was discovered.
